Question 114-16(2) Auditor General’s Report on the N.W.T. Housing Corporation
Mr. Speaker, I’d like to ask the Minister Responsible for the N.W.T. Housing Corporation a few questions with respect to the Auditor General’s report.
I heard a Minister on the radio this morning speaking with, I believe, Mr. Henderson.
Many of the findings in the auditor’s report reiterate what I’ve been saying as a Member for the last two years: that we need a proper appeal system; we need a proper board in place that can assess clients. Many, many constituents have contacted me because they didn’t feel the assessments and applications were proper.
I know that the Housing Corporation had an opportunity to look at the report. Would the Minister care to comment specifically on the appeals system that may be addressed? Thank you.
The report of the Auditor General is before the government ops committee right now for review, so I'm going to rule that question out of order in the House at the present time.
